This series is born from the everyday objects and products of a local fishing village. The salted fish, with their pungent smell and fragile forms, carry both memory and anatomy. Each specimen is more than food—it is a body, a record of labor, and a fragment of place.
The fly enters as a counterpoint: a reminder of decay, persistence, and the cycle of life that hovers around preservation. Together, the fish and the fly create a dialogue between sustenance and interruption, between what is kept and what is lost.
By arranging these forms in a grid, I invite viewers to see beyond commodity—to notice texture, silence, and the anatomy of survival. This work is both homage and study: a meditation on smell, memory, and the overlooked beauty of ordinary things.
